It's Just Not Right!!!

There is talk out there in the adoption community that an adoption agency is getting preferential treatment and they are getting their referrals a lot faster than other agencies. Unfortunately, no agency name is being mentioned.

The talk is that these people who are getting preferential treatment have LID's months beyond what the CCAA is currently referring! Basically, they are in the "FAST LANE" and everyone else is in the "SLOW LANE"!! The fast lane meaning only "months" before your referral and the slow lane meaning "years" before your referral.

I'm concerned for a couple of reasons:

1. It would be very troubling if referrals were not sent in order of date of application submisson
2. I hope that nothing unethical or illegal is happening
3. I hope that the best interest of the child is still the most important
4. China has been the IA (International Adoption) program that has been the most stable and ethical program.

So, now you ask the questions. Should we be concerned that this is going to lead to problems with the program, I hope not.

Is this something that will be looked at by either the CCAA or a Regulatory Agency, I hope so.

This may or may not affect our adoptions, I just don't know.

There have been so many "Changes" since we started this adoption that it can become very overwelming at times and you just hope that it will all work out in the end.

I'm seeing so many people leave the China program from the different groups that I belong too. This is so sad because their heart is with China and the guideline changes, the extended wait periods and now this...I can understand, but I need to hold firm because our daughter is in China and she will be coming home to us some day.
